Yes, but unfortunately, it's $95. Not $50, which is the price range I was looking for. (SB Celeron dual-cores are in that range.)

But I wanted a 22nm for power reduction.

Edit: I guess I feel that if I'm going to pay nearly $100 for a CPU, which, in prior generations of CPUs, would get me a quad-core, than I had better at least get a decent dual-core with HyperThreading. Intel doesn't offer either in IB at that price point, so no Intel for me.

Seriously? When has Intel EVER sold a quad-core for $100? Even the totally crappy neutered Q8x00 series were closer to $200 when launched.

G2120 is actually cheaper (and a good part faster) than the product it replaces.

read my post again, I just said that their "midrange CPUs" be it quad core or dual core were costing the same at some point, so "quad core" shouldn't carry necessarily an extra price, and we are not in 2008 anymore.

the price was, 4+ years ago.
you could find easily for less than $200, less than $180 at times, while you had e8xxx around the same range, when the i5 650 was released (dual core) it was sold for over $200, while you could get a q8xxx or q6600 for under $170,
also these old quads when OCed can still beat current $140 CPUs when OCed (good luck with blck OC, thanks Intel for locking everything) in MT, that's pretty uninspiring...
Intel is just being extremely "conservative" with their pricing and strategy.. they are holding the sub $180 performance quite a bit,
